Frequently Asked Questions

Signs of hail damage include dented or bruised shingles, missing granules (check your gutters for accumulation), cracked or broken shingles, and dents on metal vents, gutters, or flashing. You may also notice soft spots when walking on the roof, circular cracks in shingles, exposed fiberglass mat, or dark spots where granules have been knocked off. Inside your home, look for water stains on ceilings, peeling paint near rooflines, or damp spots in the attic. Additionally, check other exterior surfaces like window screens, siding, air conditioning units, and deck railings for dents or damage, as these can indicate your roof was also affected. However, hail damage isn't always visible from the ground, which is why we recommend a free professional inspection after any significant storm.

We'll thoroughly examine your roof, siding, gutters, detached structures, and personal property to document any damage with photos, and provide you with an honest assessment of your property's condition. There's no pressure to commit to any services.

We recommend getting your roof inspected as soon as possible after a significant storm—ideally within a few days.
